Staging the end-user in B2B

Authors: Catherine Pardo; Elsa Dessaigne

“An increasing number of business companies are now talking about the end-user as a sort of “”new frontier”” on the optimal development of B2B marketing. Though referring to downstream customers is common in B2B exchanges, few works have focused on how B2B companies deal with – or not… – an end-user who is definitely a person. Our purpose with this paper is twofold. First, we propose describing the different “”images”” of the end-user that B2B actors are building. Second, we try to identify how these different images of the end-user are helping the different actors to reach or maintain a specific position in the network. The work is based on an in-depth analysis of the French electrical equipment distribution sector. ”
